This weekend, Arsenal will play host to Bournemouth, and they will have a number of selection issues to contend with.
In fact, the Gunners are currently dealing with a minor injury issue as a number of their star players have missed this week’s training.
It’s not ideal, but it’s not apparent exactly who will be unavailable for the north London club this weekend.
Bukayo Saka is one player who might not play against the Cherries, and Jermaine Beckford said it was worrying on Premier League Productions.
While many of the absences at Arsenal won’t be critically crucial, according to Beckford, Saka will be missed because he’s a player of magic who can conjure something from thin air to pull Arsenal out of a jam.
We shall miss Saka.
Regarding the winger and his injuries, Beckford gave his opinion.
Saka is that little sprinkling of gold dust, that little sprinkling of magic who can change a game in the blink of an eye, and his magic will be missed if he is absent from the game, according to Beckford. However, in terms of the personnel, I don’t think it’s vitally important to have all of those players in there.
Crossing fingers
Saka may be able to start this match against Bournemouth, but we can only hope.
The Cherries may not be having a great season in the Premier League, but they really scared Arsenal in this match last year, and they’ve only gotten better since then.
Saka might be out, but Arsenal is fortunate to have Reiss Nelson fill in for him. If you remember the game between these two clubs from last year, Nelson may really cherish this matchup after scoring that thrilling late winner all those months ago.
